US EditionGoogle’s New Free Dictation App Is the Willow Alternative You Have Been Waiting For
The app transcribes speech in real time, removes filler words, and offers optional Gemini cleanup with no subscription or usage caps.
- On Monday, Google quietly released Google AI Edge Eloquent, a free iOS dictation app that transcribes speech locally using Gemma-based models, offering real-time transcription without requiring an internet connection.
- Competitors Wispr Flow and Willow charge $15 per month for cloud-based dictation services. Google's free offering with no usage limits directly challenges the subscription models that have defined premium AI productivity tools.
- The app automatically removes filler words like "ums" and "uhs" to produce clean prose. Users can apply transformation tools including "Key points" and "Formal" to rewrite transcripts into professional or condensed formats.
- A "fully offline" mode ensures conversations never leave the device, addressing privacy concerns. Users can enhance accuracy by manually adding custom jargon or importing frequently used words from their Gmail accounts.
- Google is "evaluating other platforms," including a potential Android version, though none has launched yet. The app remains unavailable in the UK, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area pending regulatory approval.
